I want a debate!

I must know which is more favorable.

It you could travel through time where would you go?

I voted that I would head back in time and use my abilities to save my brother from murder, my cousin from getting run over, stop some of my friends from committing suicide, warn myself not to get into a relationship that wasted 6 years of my life, Stop myself from falling off a wall therefore preventing a long term back injury, convince myself to join some of my fandoms earlier, get my younger brother out of a bad relationship sooner, Save my younger brother from some unneeded scars, talk to some of my friends before it is too late, redo some of my college work better, etc, etc.

traveling forward in time is impossible.
allow me to explain. as much as David tenant says other whys, time is a line. Cause and effect. so for something to happen their must be a cause. if we try moving forward in time we are not creating any causes, therefor no effect would happen thus nothing would change and nothing would happen.
if you want a picture imagine a line with an X at the present. everything past that X is blank paper. for all intensives purposes it doesn't exist. and going somewhere where their is nothing is impossible because as i have said, their is nothing, empty, void.

Actually, traveling forward in time is the ONLY difinitive way to time travel as far as we know.

Special Relativity explains that time is experienced in different ways by different objects according to their relative velocity. The faster you move the less time you experience. If you could build a device that would travel close to the speed of light you would in essence be traveling through time because you would age much, much slower than those who are not traveling at that speed.

Traveling back in time is theoretical possible but to do so you would probably die. You could either use a einstein-rosen bridge. You build one end of it now, and the other end of it many years from now and then you would be able to pass from one end to the other. This method is limited to the time that you made it, so you couldn't go back any further than that. The other method is to use a black hole to warp light back around on itself and then travel with that light to a younger version of itself. The only issue here is that there is no way to escape from the black hole so you're stuck wherever you went forever.

Time is not a limited directional force that has power over everything. It is merely a measurement of our distance traveled and entropy gained.

Look up the feynman diagrams, they are a fundamental part of quantum mechanics, and they explain how time is not a line, and there is no definite history.
Though when you get to macroscopic scales, there is not much variance in the possible histories, and that is because of heisenbergs uncertainty principle becomes less relevant the larger distanes and momentum the system has.
If that is not enough, you can look at godtherapist 's comment

Is the past predetermined or can my actions change it?
Can I travel back at will?
Can I bring anything with me?
Would anyone even be able to understand English in the future?
Do I get to choose the location I travel to?
Do I get a sexy, Scottish redhead to travel with?

1. lets assume you cant change anything about the past becasue you will have already done anything you are about to do in the past
2. yeah why not
3. you can bring 1 attractive female and a screwdriver
4. its the future they probably have UTs
5. yeah
6. see 3

If I was guaranteed that I wouldn't **** anything up or create any paradoxes, I would definitely go back in time.
That way, I could tell my parents to force me to do sports from a very early age so I could be successful at something. Then I'd sit me down and have a very lengthy Birds & Bees-esque talk where I tell me how important it is that I grow up to be big and stronk and not fat so I can win the girl of my dreams

I voted future.
1. Maybe they'll invent a time machine so I can go back anyways.
2. If I go to the future, I can't **** up any timeline(s).

However, when I think of it.. If I go back in time, even 5 minutes, I have a clone of myself and can go backwards and forwards in time, and since history always repeats itself, the past kinda is the future.

euhm yes you can fck up the timelines of the future. You just would never notice because it would be way too far in the future for you but it could be you fck up something wich makes the timeline disturbed and messed up for people you will never meet ^^

But if you **** up the future, you don't change anything, because they's what's going to happen, but if you alter the past, you might not be borned, so you can't alter the past etc. I.E. a paradox that might collapse the universe.

I fear you didnt understand my point i was trying to make. If you alter the past it can have change the present, if you change the future it wont change the present nor annything that has to do with you probably yet it WILL change the future. Something you will never even notice since its in the future and most likely so far in it that you wont even be alive to ever see it nor would you know it changed if you were to be alive then since the way it shouldve happend was changed. I am pretty much trying to say that time is a river, it will allways flow and the whole river is pretty much made allrdy but by changing the future is like putting down a dam in the river making the river change paths. You see what i mean? its debatable though if my point of view is real or not but i like to see it like this ( well actually i see it like millions of rivers, all flowing through eachother. each river is the life of a person, if it touches or flows through another river it means those persons become friends or ... stuff like that)

yep more or less, you could experience it though but you will never see it as being changed. Since you never experienced how it shouldve been in the first place. So you can experience it but you will just see it as the normal/original timeline instead of the altered one.

Well that's the point I tried to make, that we can change the future infinite times, but we'll still perceive it as history. It's going back in time that's dangerous, because that alters the now relevant to us.

well, my point i was trying to make is that if you look at it like that you would change other peoples lives without knowing it while you would never change something that could affect yourself so i find your point you are trying to make selfish thats why i dissaprove. Not that your way of thinking is wrong or annything, i just find it despicable to change something for others aslong as it doesnt affect you its fine ^^ thats what i actually wanted to point out but yea, sorry i didnt make that clear faster.

You refering to this: ".. but if you alter the past, you might not be borned, so you can't alter the past etc. I.E. a paradox that might collapse the universe."?
The point there is the grandfather-paradox, which is when you go back in time and kill your own grandfather. This would mean one of your parents never were born, so you weren't born, which means you couldn't go back and kill your grandfather, creating a paradox. It wasn't meant selfish, it's just a time travel paradox.

yea i know, i just see it this way because why in the world would you go back to kill your grandfather?? Dont really see many people wanting to do something like that so didnt really see you doing it. Was thinking more like you would use the time travel thing to travel back a very long time to see how things were and stuff, well if you would ever use it to travel back wich you probs wouldnt. But by going in the future you could kill some1 elses grandfather thus destroying that persons live.
